Destiny - the boat


To quote the manufacturer's blurb "The E-Series reach new levels of safety and luxury in contemporary yacht design, built from Twaron to the demanding CE Category A (Ocean) standard, that's as tough as a lifeboat!" To prove the point the company's owner underwent a capsize test - see the link below.

Not that I would ever wish to put it to the test but it's a good publicity stunt!

DESTINY
Other that's self-righting ability which makes her well-suited for rougher waters, Destiny is equipped with an electrically operate aerial/radar mount facilitating an air draught of 3.45 metres which allows access to European canals down to the Med. Great flexibility for a boat of this size.
